《Healing Dungeon》A/N & Important UPDATE regarding the Novel
Advertisement
At last we stand at a point of no return.
Perhaps that's how I would title it, or something like it, and overdramatize things.
To my dearest, greatest and best readers in the world:
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the journey, albeit a bumpy one, to reach this point.
You who have persevered to this moment, who have read along, who have followed my journey and Avan's journey, and who have perhaps even shared in the excitement!
The journey, which had less to do with "healing" and "dungeons" than it first appeared, and has led some mistakenly astray. Although, in fact, that's what it was supposed to be about when I started the story....
A story that borrowed from Azarinth Healer, but quickly took different paths. A story that should be something more than the normal dungeon novel.
And yet it took me so long to write the back story that I got caught up and lost in Avan's actions and deeds.
We followed Avan as he partially explored the first continent, Eos, on Aorus, learning about this new world, and slowly finding himself.
And all of that, was the very first time I ever wrote more than a few pages of a story.
And the incredible thing was, it was all in English, a language I'm very good at when it comes to reading and listening, but my writing and speaking skills have been rusty for over 10 years.
But it is not my native language. Because I am from Germany :)
And while I started, the story from the keel of my quill flowed without much preparation....
...In the process, after just around 100 chapters, I realized that I finally had to create something real. Something solid and tangible, something that has both hand and foot. A story that hopefully enchants you as much as myself. A journey with Avan, as it has not taken place before.

So now I promise the following; To all my readers who have persevered to this point and been such an awesome audience for me!
The story is NOT over!
It has just begun!
Because this, was only the prequel. A prequel on a very hilly road full of potholes and puddles, the first writing attempt of a person like everyone else out there is.
The first baby steps to get to know the world of writing.
I decided to start a separate book for the continuation of the story, with the current title "[WIP] Seed of Origin".
The story will pick up where "Healing Dungeon" ended, but will continue in a much different way.
I can only ask you all to be patient with me, and try to read the following story as if you were meeting Avan for the first time.
It will start as a dungeon novel, and will go exactly in the direction I wanted to go with "Healing Dungeon".
Maybe it will get a bit overpowered in between, a bit more hectic, a bit calmer.
But in the end...
we all return to the ORIGIN, don't we?

Necromancer's Resolve
Foster Locke's life wasn't the harshest it could have been. But it wasn't the easiest either. Despite losing the last of his family and having immense debt thrown on him, getting the chance to keep practicing Martial Arts pulled away, and having a completely messed up sleep-schedule, he usually tried his best to stay positive to the outside world. Of course, that wasn't always possible, especially not when he was staring into the glowing eyes of a man-eating creature he had never heard of before. The glowing message-box that accompanied it wasn't much better either. Not to mention the fact that he was suddenly in a dark forest instead of the train station. This isn't a story of great anguish, inescapable peril, or heroic world-saving. Rather, it's one of a young man trying to get by in a world that seems to try his best to kill him. I hope you enjoy the read. --- Cover Image temporary [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

The Underbelly
There's something wrong with Port City. In the aftermath of the Hyde Park massacre, the city increased its police force dramatically, and Wyatt Milter found himself in uniform, with a gun, a badge, and dreams of someday making detective, but with no clue how to actually make it happen. These days a new, ugly kind of violence is rising on the streets. As a bizarre group of characters emerges from Port City's underbelly, Wyatt will be forced into making a difficult decision. Will he remain a cop? Or will he serve a different kind of justice? (Author's Note: I started writing this about 10 years ago and only now got around to the idea of uploading it. As a result, much of this predates the rising popularity of the Green Arrow. I'm uploading as is, but future drafts will make minor alterations to the character to differentiate it.)
